A coalition of animal rights activists protested the University's alleged
mistreatment of animals used in research at the intersection of Nassau
Street and Washington Road on Saturday.

The protest resulted from an anonymous letter written by a former
University laboratory employee detailing various animal conduct violations.
The letter was published online by the group Stop Animal Exploitation Now!
on Sept. 29. Included with the letter were graphic pictures of distressed
primates and dead rats allegedly taken at the University by the anonymous
employee.

The coalition of protestors included 10 to 15 activists from a variety of
organizations based in New Jersey and New York throughout the afternoon.
Individual protestors held poster-sized photos from the original anonymous
letter. Activist organizers read anti-primate testing statements using a
bullhorn.
